Testimony Records have announced progressive death metal alchemists Azure Emote have signed with the label. Azure Emote will release their fourth full-length via Testimony Records in 2025.
“We are excited to join ranks with Testimony Records!” mastermind Mike Hrubovcak states. “Creativity and professionalism merge, to deliver a refreshing new offering to the metal masses! We believe our unique blend of progressive extremity will make a nice addition to their already top tier list of killer artists. Get ready to be massively surprised by the innovative brutality of our upcoming album!”
“We are thrilled to announce the signing of Azure Emote,” label manager Thomas Strater enthuses. “Their extreme vision of progressive death metal comes without any boundaries. Their musical creations do not wallow in pretentious bragging but their songs teem with fascinating structures and a plethora of innovative details. All members have or continue to perform in legendary bands, which makes Azure Emote a true melting pot of creating music without mindcuffs.”
Azure Emote were founded by vocalist and keyboard player Mike Hrubovcak with the support of long-time friend and the band’s guitarist Ryan Moll in Philadelphia, PA in 2003. His intention was the creation of an experimental musical outlet to express personal negativity without the arbitrary limitations of genre that are so often present within the extreme metal scenes.
Often dubbed avant-garde or progressive death metal, the unique sound of the Americans incorporates a wide variety of instruments and musical styles, which include elements of experimental, industrial, electronic, doom, progressive, and blackened death metal.
Lineup:
Mike Hrubovcak – vocals, keyboards, compositions
